The year was 1955. Brigitte Bardot came to film And God Created Woman for then-husband, Roger Vadim, and the rest, as they say, is history. When the film was released in 1956, the image of Bardot emerging from the surf in a tiny gingham bikini caused a sensation. As it turned out, the world was as captivated with this young sex siren as Bardot was with the authentic charms of St. Tropez. She popularized the two-piece swimsuit, which was born in Paris a decade before, and put St. Tropez on the map as a hedonistic playground for international playboys and creative types.

With the recent introduction of super model Kate Moss as celebrity endorser of the St. Tropez brand of self-tanning products, St. Tropez seems to have come full circle back to its beginning celebrating the beauty of the well-toned female body. The original charms of this fishing village are still here if you wander away from the glitzy beach clubs and designer boutiques, but St. Tropez will forever be known, first and foremost, as a sexy enclave where its de rigueur to see and be seen.

We needed a modern, efficient space to serve our clients in St. Tropez, but a sterile cement office block wasn’t what we were looking for. We were delighted to find a space in a charming villa in the heart of St. Tropez that reflected our aesthetic. We left the exterior untouched while renovating the interior to suit the needs of a modern business. The next time you’re visiting the French Riviera, stop in and visit us at our newly redesigned offices.

Featuring a sleek contemporary interior with stylish modern furnishings, it’s a comfortable environment in which to review our St. Tropez villas for rent. Take a seat and relax with an espresso or glass of wine while our knowledgeable staff helps you review our stunning VillaHotel collection of the ten best luxury villa rentals in the area. Each represents the ultimate in privacy, amenities, décor, ambiance, and design.
